The Waiting Game Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

I heard the stomping of feet dancing 

On the wooden floor upstairs 

I wasn't in the mood for laughing 

So I sat silent in my chair 

There was someone missing I knew 

Outside there fell the rain 

Where had she gone, what could I do 

I played the waiting game 

The cigarette smoke was annoying 

My mood was fit for a bath 

A drink couldn't oil my expression 

Nothing could make me laugh 

I was worried out of my head 

I was in such a state 

What's keeping her, where has she gone 

I played the waiting game 

When you love someone 

You worry when they're late 

When you love someone 

You know the time it takes 

To play the waiting game

The music got louder and louder 

From the wooden floor upstairs 

I played with a handful of peanuts 

When I saw her standing there 

My mood leapt right out of the bath 

She had got stuck in the rain 

Her coat dripped on a hanger 

Playing the waiting 

I couldn't understand her 

Playing the waiting 

Seemed like I'd wait forever 

Playing the waiting game
